About Me

Altering books can be a great adventure. There are no rules, no rights and wrongs. There are infinite ways to use all your favorite art supplies and skills to alter an old book. I hope you visit often. Please feel free to use any ideas and tricks you pick up here. I do this for fun, not for profit!One of my best tricks is - if you mess up a page, tear it out! Start a new page. That's "my way".

I recently added the mail art component here. What could be easier or more fun than making a post card and sending it off to a friend? Or to a stranger?

Lodi Mixed Media Group

Our group of mixed media artists had a tailgate party yesterday. It's our own version of a tail gate party. We all load up our cars with art materials, books, etc that we no longer have use for, and then we just open them up and let others in the group take whatever they can use. I got rid of LOTS of stuff. I always hope EVERYTHING will be gone, but I always have some leftovers. I was so good I did NOT bring home other stuff (except for some lace brought by Vivian, and ruffled lace brought by Marilyn. We'll do this again in a couple months so I have a box started already with more things that can go away.
